"March is a month of considerable frustration - it is so near spring and yet across a great deal of the country the weather is still so violent and changeable that outdoor activity in our yards seems light years away."- Thalassa Cruso

"The afternoon is bright,with spring in the air,a mild March afternoon,with the breath of April stirring,I am alone in the quiet patiolooking for some old untried illusion-some shadow on the whiteness of the wallsome memory asleepon the stone rim of the fountain,perhaps in the airthe light swish of some trailing gown."- Antonio Machado, 1875-1939 Selected Poems, #3, Translated by Alan S.

Death pushed me to the edge. Nowhere to back off. And to the shame of my fears, I danced with abandon in his face. I never danced as free. And Death backed off, the way dark backs off a sudden burst of flame. Now there's nothing left, but to keep dancing. It is the way I would have chosen had I been born three times as brave.~Mark Nepo

About Me

I believe in love and kindness, family first, deep meaningful friendships, counting one's blessings and giving to others what you yourself need. I strive to see life as a glass half full. I am very grateful for the life I have and all the wonderful people that make this grand adventure so worthwhile.
